  Abstract

We propose an automatic spam filter for e-mail data using Support Vector Machines(SVM). We use a lexical form of a word and its part of speech(POS) tags as features and select features by chi square statistics. We represent each feature by TF(text frequency), TF-IDF, and binary weight for experiments. After training SVM with the selected features, SVM classifies each e-mail as spam or not. In experiment, the selected features improve the performance of our system and we acquired overall 98.9% of accuracy with TREC05-p1 spam corpus.
